And as a PS - aboriginal (Koori - is the correct term) children are on the 
same vaccination program as the rest of our children - they are all on 
multiple vaccination schedules, same as the US, unless you request 
otherwise. They don't seek them out for a different vaccination schedule. 
They may play catch up more often because they don't get regular medical 
care - but thats not the same thing. Catch up vaccinations are still spaced 
just on a different schedule - been there and done that with Alex. Alex 
didn't get some of his vaccinations on schedule because of adverse 
reactions - but when they released the acellular pertusis and he was older 
he still got them - just on a catch up schedule. Same spacing just a 
different amount done separately. Alex actually had a lot more vaccinations 
than other kids his age because he was at an increased risk of different 
bugs eg hep B, pneumonia, flu etc.

I will however pose the whole question to my cousin next time I phone or 
that he is in Sydney. My cousin is more country Koori "familiar" as he lives 
in a country area and cares for his two grandsons (definitely Koori kids) 
because their mum didn't want to, just like many white parents don't want to 
care for their kids and leave the grandparents to do it - now thats a 
growing problem.

The supreme happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved.
